Hardie board would have to be well off the ground. It will pull moisture like a sponge. Have a rental house with Hardie board on the dormers and the installer did not leave a big enough gap where it meets the shingles and over the years it has soaked up water and swelled out. Has to be painted every 5-7 years also. Called the manufacturer and they said it has to have a 1” gap from shingles and 4” from ground around bottom of a house.
Clearance minimums are all spelled out in the Hardie installation instructions. The issue is contractors do not properly paint the cut edges lying along the roof line, which is the correct way to do it.

Still don’t think I would use it for underpinning on a trailer.
